I think in the interim we owe it to the public to go out and explain the position we're in.

Once people see me and listen to me and see how my decisions go then they'll get a better feeling that I am more independent and can go to both sides.

And what that translates into is the public distrust of decisions or lack of respect.

I want people to view me as open-minded, respectful of people's opinions, approachable.

That's the way some people are perceiving it, and I think it's unfortunate. I'm a very independent person, and I've been saying from day one that change is necessary.

I just do it a little differently, I think you build from our strengths.
